The Jane Tomlinson Appeal was set up by a very determined Yorkshire woman to help children’s and cancer charities across Yorkshire, the UK and the globe.

Before her death in 2007 Jane Tomlinson CBE raised £1.85m through a series of incredible physical challenges. Ridley and Hall entered a team in the Leeds 10k and joined the Corporate Challenge to raise funds for the Appeal. For some of us the training and then the run was quite a physical challenge!

Congratulations to all of our Leeds 10K finishers – and thanks are due to the staff at Ridley and Hall who baked cakes sold and bought dresses and sponsored the runners. With their help, it made a fantastic day to remember for all of us.

British running legend Paula Radcliffe MBE started this year’s run, finishing the last 100m with three-year-old daughter Isla. Even James Cook who lead our team home couldn’t keep up with her – and the rest of us hadn’t a hope!
